PARENTING
WITH EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
Ideal for parents, schools, counsellors, community groups, and family
education programs!
Parents and caregivers can increase emotional literacy -- the foundation

helps you communicate with your child, recognize, manage emotions,
and increase self-awareness.
Most of all, you will learn more about how to use your emotions
